Was Live Now Great Memories From the May 27th Double Scoop Cruise

[DCL Repeaters]

Hey Double Dippers! Can you tell me what days this week brunch is offered?

 

[RCBA]

Thanks for the report. I can hardly wait for our DD!

It was awesome yesterday at the DISmeet and at the sailaway. Mark and Mary did their usual wonderful job - and we all had a blast. It was great putting faces to all of the 45,000 plus posts.

For those of us that know and love gaRry - it was bittersweet having him on shore waving farewell to us as he was supposed to be joining us. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Stacey and I did have some pins made with PDFG as Mary said - unfortunately the plan was to get him some pins too, but my flight delay interrupted that plan - he'll get his pins later.

Stacey and Jay had a great time on Match Your Mate - videos will be available....

It was great having my daughter Kristin with us - now that she is 21 she could legally drink the wine with me..... It's hilarious - everybody keeps asking her how she likes The Stack.....

What an awesome day it was today at CC. We did the noon eco tour and had an absolute blast. Wonderful weather (5th cruise 2nd time with what I would call perfect weather at CC).

The ocean is as calm as I have ever seen it. Lauren (DD11) asked why it looked "funny" - told her it was because it was so calm.....

Tonight we have dinner in Parrot Cay. A 10 Day Holiday Cruise alumni brunch is scheduled in the morning.

Be back later!

Hey Double Dippers! Can you tell me what days this week brunch is offered?

We booked Palo brunch for the 08/19/06 double dip. You could book either Monday or Thursday which are the two sea days.

Hi everyone! Checking in after dinner and the end of a wonderful day.

First the disappointing news for you pin collectors. No special Double Dip pins. Some nice artist choice pins but that is it for the limited editions.

Buddy Bear - I just saw Stacey who had your envelope for Gloria so it is being delivered as we speak.

Also DJ Hollywood is now an official member of the Double Scoop Group. We gave him his own button today (we always bring a few blanks). The shout outs were continuing on CC - it was such fun to hear.

The weather was perfect as Virgil said and the sea is as smooth as glass. We're taking it easy tonight and looking forward to our first sea day and the 10 day reunion brunch.

Excellent news!! Thank you for the update

Sorry to hear about the pins, my family are pin collectors and would have enjoyed something for the double dips.

I was disappointed as well. Same thing happened on the 10 day. We were the first Disney cruise to St. Lucia and the first planned 10 day and they didn't have anything special. Oh well...knowing we'll be back at CC this week is special enough. Even more special is cruising with a great group of DISers!

Thank you Buddy Bear. I was wondering if it would be only 2 days vs. the usual 3 days

Thanks for the updates, Mary! Can you ask DJ Hollywood how long he will be on the ship? I doubt that he will still be there for the 12/9 Double Dippers...but maybe he will be back from a vacation?

 

[SeaSpray]

Thanks for the live reports, I really appreciate the time and effort put into them. Please keep them coming!

This is fun reading we just got off the Magic 28.I hope someone gets the great server Ivan. He was the best,he does magic and helps you with the cruise. Our room host was Erwinalso great hope you get him also. Hope your weather is as great as ours was. Have a magic time. Keep the posts comming so we can enjoy your trip with you.

Thank you for the fantastic pictures!! Awesome.

We are having a blast. So much so, that this is the first chance I've had to get down here and log in.

What can I say? Clear skies, smooth seas (although I really WANT to be rocked to sleep), good food, EXCELLENT company......Wow.

It's true, DJ Hollywood LOVES this group. Any time he's got a microphone in his hand, the "Double Scoop Group" (or TROUPE as he calls us) gets a shout out. We could hear it all over Castaway Cay today.

We went to 60's night tonight....too much fun. Hollywood just had to double check and make sure his DIS fan base was there....oh yeah!

Sea day....brunch....spa.....looking forward to a marvelous day tomorrow!

 

[Doingitagain]

Please tell DJ Hollywood that the next set of "Double Dippers" have a cruise meet thread and we will be arriving June 24!

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Wow, what a fun group, wish I could be there with you all. Keep updating us, I've got this thread bookmarked. =o)

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Great updates everyone! Wish we were there with you!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone. Woke up to a beautiful day and smooth seas again!

Stacey is going to have to be the late night reporter as I haven't made one of the late night events yet. I am a morning person however and love this time of day.

One thing I forgot to mention is that we picked up our embarkation photo last night. When it was taken we were against a screen that looked like an old fashioned treasure map. When we picked it up it was now an 8x10 and had a large blue border abound it that says 2 x the Magic and listed the ports and the date. It will make a great addition to our scrapbook of the cruise.

Thanks for the udpates!!

Mary the picture background sounds cool, at least they did something special for the double dippers! We're the next group of DD to go so we're anxiously awaiting any special news!

Is there a band on board or just the DJ? We just loved the CM Band and will really miss them. Hope there is someone to take their place. Have a great double dip.

Ok, at least they've acknowledged the Double Dip in this way I love the live reports, thanks again so much for posting them!
